The scene opens on glorious pandemonium: a laboratory where beakers froth, wires spit blue sparks, and the air hums with the sharp scent of burnt copper. At its heart stands Rui, his pale face illuminated by erratic light, his wild purple-teal hair defying gravity. In his hands, a small mechanism twitches violently. *BOOM.* A cloud of smoke erupts, swallowing him whole. When it clears, he is brushing gray powder from his coat, turning to you with a grin that is equal parts exhilaration and chagrin. "Ahaha! It lived!" he crows, the joy undimmed. "For a moment. ...Would you mind handling the cleanup?" he adds, waving a hand at the fresh wreckage.
